Something fishy: Roller in the Glassfish Update Center

As my colleagues Manveen Kaur and <a href= "http://blogs.sun.com/alexismp/entry/glassfish_update_center_what_s">Alexis Moussine-Pouchkine are reporting, Roller is now available via the Glassfish Update Center. Manveen explains how to get started: just download and install <a href= "http://java.sun.com/javaee/downloads/index.jsp">Sun Java System Application Server 9.1 and run $GLASSFISH_HOME/updatecenter/bin/updatetool. Too lazy for all that? Alexis has put together a brief slide-show that shows just how easy the process is.

There are a couple of caveats. First, this is an Early Access (EA) release and is based on a snapshot of the Roller 4.0 code-base from about 1.5 months ago. We put it through a couple of rounds of testing, but it doesn't have all the bug fixes found in the recent <a href= "http://rollerweblogger.org/roller/entry/roller_strong_9">Roller 4.0 RC releases. Second, this release targets only Glassfish (obviously) and JavaDB. Still, it's a great way to try Glassfish, the Update Center and Roller.

What's up with the fishes and the mysterious "Welcome to SocialFish" seen in the slide show? I've already said everything I can say about that

Comments:

When following the instructions at "http://blogs.sun.com/alexismp/resource/install-roller-gfv2.html" it says that there should be an update center item "Weblog server for GlassFish". When I do this, I get an item "Social Software for GlassFish", but not the actual Weblog. Has this been removed from the update center?

You should ask Alexis this question. I am no longer with Sun and as far as I know, Sun is not supporting "Social Software for Glassfish" any more. I recommend you install Apache Roller 4.0.1 instead. - Dave
